We reproduce an article from the Bill
lings Gazette in this issue, wherein the
CHRONICLE, with the balance of the Gal
latin county papers, are accused of doing
our utmost to defeat the Billings and
Cooke City railroad project. The state
ment is as unjust rs it is incorrect, for
while we believe that the Billings pro-
ject was first instituted solely to injure
the Cinnabar railway project, since it has
accomplished that end, we have calmly
held our peace, hoping that the Billings
people might accomplish the end SO
a~nxiously sought by the mistreated min
ers of Cooke, although the lack of funds
and other grave obstacles make the pro-
ject a dubious one.

Important Land Decision.

WASHINGTON, Jan. A decision rem.
dered to-day by the secretary Of the
interior will prove of more than general
interest to the people along the line OF
the Northern Pacific. Jan. 2, 1875,
Charles Holmes made entry of the south
half ofthe southwest quarter of section
10, township 2, range 5, and of the
north half of the northwest quarter of
section "a, same township, in the Boze-
man (Mont.) land district. When he
came to prove up in 1880 the local land
officers rejected his claim for the first
half of his entry eighty acres) on the
ground that it being a part of an odd
section it must have been part of the
grant withdrawn for the benefit of the
road upon the filling of its map of gen.
eral route, Feb. 81, 1872. The secretary
affirmed the decision of the subordinate
officers on the broad principal that the
land not being occupied by Holmes
when the withdrawal was made it was
naturally, as an odd section, part of the
grant and belonged to the railroad CON-
pany. Last veal Holmes came and asked
to be allowed to prove on this same
tract, basing his petition on the ground
OF newly discovered evidence. 1t seems
that on Feb. 5, 1872, sixteen days before
the map of the general route had been
filed, Henry Miller had made homestead
entry of this same tract and consequently
ocripie0 it when the withdrawal had
been made. His entry was Cancelled in
July. 1872, and the land had lain un-
occupied until 1875, when Holmes enter
ed it. Upon the ground that the land
could not have been included in the
withdrawal as it was occupied by Miller,
Holmes asks that the land be declared to
have been opened to entry in 1875, and
consequently be awarded to him. The
secretary says:
This last presentation of the case is 80
different from the first as to warrant con-
sideration and judgment. The map of
definite location of the road was not
filed until July, 1882, and the complete
withdrawal was not made until that time.
The land having been occupied at the
time the withdrawal was consummated
by the filing of the map of definite loca-
Ftion, its title did not pass with the grant.
He quotes the law of 1881, allowing the
purchase of railroad lands where they
have been occupied by private parties
upon this basis and the decision allows
Holmes a patent for this entry before
denied him.
The popularity of this decision says
the Pioneer Press is the fact that the
secretary entirely overlooks a decision
rendered last week which takes exactly
the opposite views of this question, and
also the second section of the law of1S76
which distinctly provides that where
lands was occupied at the time of with
drawal and subsequently, abandoned OIL
Cancelled it is subject to re.entry.

It is easy enough to understand why q
member Of Congress who is in receipt of
handsome retaining fees from a subsidiz-
ed railroad company should be opposed
to the Beck bill, for in case of It's passage
he would be compelled to resign his seat
and retire from Legislative life, or else
terminate his professional engagements
with the corporations. The mere fact
that a Senator or Representative is
workingto defeat this proposed legislation
creates a w~arrantable suspicion that if
he is not already in the service of the
roads, he expects to be-. or is at least
open to solicitation. Senator Beck is
trying to render such scandalous i'm
putations upon the good name of the
Senate impossible and the facilitate the
progress of wholesome legislation.

INDICTED AND SENTENCED,
Express Robbers Indicted, Plead Guilty
and are Sentenced TO the Peni.
Tertiary,

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 4.--The probability that
Fred Whitrock, the Adams Express
robber and his confederates, would be
brought into the criminal court to-day,
drew a large number of people to the
court room, anxious to catch a glimpse
of so famous highwaymen. At12 o'clock
the grand jury, which was at that hour
expected TO be ready to present their in
dictments, announced that they were
not ready to report. An adjournment
was taken to give them further time to
consider the case and two subsequent adj
journments were taken, the last one to 2
p. m, for the same purpose. At the
latter hour, when the Judge took his
seat, the court room was
CROWDED WITH SPECTATORS,
filling the aisles and d~oorways, The
grand jury filed in and took seats.
tientleman, have you anything to re-
port?" asked the court. I'VE have three
true bills to RETURN" responded the fore
man. The bills were handed to the
judge who, after looking them over, dis
missed the jury. One of these was a
joint indictment against Frederick Wit
rock, Thomas Weaver and William
Haight, charged with larceny from a
railroad car. The indictments charging
them with robbery in the first degree
were prepared yesterday, but the form
wal charged to the above 80 there might
be no difficulty in holding Messenger
rockingham, for an indictment of
robbery in the first degree would be an
admission of his innocence. At 2:l5 the
prisoners were brought from their cells
in the holdover into court and arraigned
at the bar. "If the court please.n said
Mr.. Glover, states attorney, "the de-
PENDANTS in this case desire to
PLEAD GUILTY
to the charges in the indictment. The
clerk then asked defendants if they had
heard the charges. They replied in the
affirmative, and to the question as to
the question as to whether they were
guilty or not guilty, the answer was
guilty" The states attorney recon-
mended that the extreme penalty of
even years in the ~penitentisry be met
ed out to Witrock and Haight, and that
Weaver be given five years. The judge
then sentenced them in accordance with
the recommendations. Witrock and
Haight took their sentences stoicly, the
former remarking, 1--WE haye made our
beds and must lie in them" But Weav-
er was evidently affected. He cannot re-
ccncile himself to the idea of serving a
sentence when knowing Morisrity and
others, who received parts of the stolen
money, are allowed to 60 at liberty. After
receiving their sentence the prisoners
were led back to their cells, where the y
will remain until tomorrow, when they
will be taken to the ~penitentiary at
Jefferson City.

THE COMING RAILROADS.
The Montana Central Road from Helc-

Col. BrOadweter Talks.

A special telegram to the Independent
on the 4th, from st. Paul, says:
"Chief Engineer Dodge, of the Mon
tana Central, says the company will
build to Butte from Helena as soon as
the right of way bill becomes a law. The
route strikes from Helena parallel with
the Northern Pacific to a point between
Jefferson and Wickes. Features of the
work are a one mile and an eight humid
red foot tunnel which will obviate heavy
grades and sharp curves, The survey
has been made and the line practically
located between the two cities.
Col. Broadwater says the Manitoba
and the Montana Central alone will dis
burse s., OOO,O 900 from Buford to Butte,
via Helena, in the next twelve months
in construction work. He is very en-
thusiastic as to the immediate develop

mis- are working hard together for the
reservation right of way bill and there
is no doubt of its passage. He and He'll

B. Hammond, of Missoula and J.. M.
Connell, of Butte, met in Helena and
form ed two new railroad companies
Beside these gentleman the %incorpora.

The companies were formed and the
papers forwarded to receive signatures OF
Messrs. Worden and Hoge. In about
four DAYS another meeting will be held
in Helena for the purpose Of perfecting
the organization, and Immediately there
after bids will be invited and contracts
let on both roods. The route from
Drummond to Philipsburg Is about %
miles long, and it is expected that the
road will be in operation by the first Of
July. The Bitter Root branch will be
about SO miles long, and it IS expected
that it will be ready for trains in time to
move next years crop. Parties of en-
gineers are now locating the line or both
routes. Gov. Hauser has formed tarfiC
arrangements with the Northern Pacific
and there is absolutely nothing likely to
occur to delay the building of both these
| lines"
